Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes May 16, 1990 Page 2 Mr. Johnson explained the addition would not be able to be seen from the road. Steve Kennedy noted that this application meets the technical requirements of the Village Code. The structure will be compatible (same in color) as the existing clubhouse. Boardmember Coble moved to approve the application as submitted. Boardmember Maitland seconded the motion. The vote was: Ruth Maitland - for Leslie Cook - for James Coble - for Victor Strahan - for the motion therefore was passed and adopted. B) An Application from Bill Hart for Riveredge Development Corp., for two (2) 27" x 27" Eastwinds Subdivision entrance signs constructed from Sterling Grey grante with black painted recessed copy. Bill Hart and Bob Young appeared in representation of Riveredge Development Corp. Bob Young explained that there is an existing wall that encapsulates this development, and the application is for an embellishment on that existing wall. This property is located across from the Tequesta Country Club on County Club Drive. The intent is that the columns be similar in texture and color with the existing wall. There would be two granite signs, with black letters which read "Eastwinds Landing". The letters will literally be routed and recessed into the granite, then painted black. A sample of the grante was displayed for the Board to view. There will also be a light fixture on the column which will down - illuminate the sign. Scott Ladd asked if this light would shine into traffic as they turn into the street. Mr. Young explained it was a frosted lense and not a brilliant light, fairly subtle. Chairman Cook asked if the landscaping has yet been approved. Scott Ladd explained it has not. It was not part of the original approval, even though some conceptual designs were shown at the time. The subdivision itself was being approved at that time. The landscaping would have to come back for approval later. The original landscape concept could not fit there because of the DOT requirements for setbacks from the road for trees and shrubbery. To accomplish this at all, a raised curb would have to be put in past all the landscaping at the entry way in order to make the shrubs and trees comply with DOT and Village requirements. Couunity Appearance Board Meeting Minutes May 16, 1990 Page 3 -------------------------- Mr. Young explained there is a raised curb there now, and they are within all the regulations stipulated for the landscaping. Compliance has been met. Mr. Coble stated the entrance appeared to be very narrow. Mr. Ladd explained there is only a 30' road right-of-way entering into a 60' right-of-way after passing the wall. The normal grassed swale area does not exist there. Chairman Cook inquired as to the types of plantings that are planned for the entrance. She explained that the Crinum Lily has a tendency to have a ragged appearance and suggested it be changed to an alternate plant. Mr. Young explained that the plants that were chosen were those that survived the freeze and disease, and that had an aesthetically appealing effect and were complimentary to the setting. Boardmember Coble moved to approve the application for the entrance development of Eastwinds Landing, subject to the alternate plant chosen to replace Crinum Lily. Boardmenber Coble seconded the motion. The vote was: Ruth Maitland - for Leslie Cook - for James Coble - for Victor Strahan - for the motion therefore was passed and adopted. C) An application from Gary Robinson for a 36" x 32" wall mounted sign at 399 North Cypress Drive, Tequsta. Clear Heart Redwood background to be sandcarved with raised copy. Colors: white background, black copy, gold scroll. Mrs. Robinson explained the sign will be located on the building. Boardmember Strahan moved to approve the application as submitted. Boardmember Maitland seconded the motion. The vote was: Ruth Maitland Leslie Cook James Coble Victor Strahan for - for for for the motion therefore was passed and adopted. j Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes May 16, 1990 Page 4 -------------------------- V . VI. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. ANY OTHER MATTERS A) Chairwoman Cook suggested the Community Appearance Board send a letter to the Tequesta Post Office asking if it was possible for them to improve their landscaping. Scott Ladd responded that that could be done on Village stationery. Mr. Ladd further explained that the very front part of the landscaped area at the Post Office is road right-of-way, owned by the County. The County will take that portion when Old Dixie is changed to a three -lane roadway. Mr. Ladd reminded the Board that the Post Office is still under the auspices of Ordinance No. 377, Landscape Code, with approximately 4 1/2 years left on their amortization schedule. Chairwoman Cook stated she would like to encourage the Post Office to do something about their landscaping before the amortization expires. The Boardmembers concurred. B) Chairwoman Cook asked if anything has yet been done with the raised curb around the planter near the bank on the corner of Old Dixie and Tequesta Drive. Scott Ladd explained nothing has been done yet because of the legal difficulties. The owners of Tequesta Plaza (Falhabers) will have to be approached to remedy the problem. VII.
